I LOVE HER YET

Sweet memory of Mother loved , Oh loved,
Who through long years of toil , toil of love,
Did guide me on the path of righteousness,
And all her care , I , do so now miss ,
For she has gone behond to tender bliss,
Oh , ever shall I miss her smling face,
And never see her in her lovely grace,
I never nearly understood or thought,
Of sorrow , which I have so often wrought,
Yet now she has gone I know,
And to me such better knowledge proves,
How much she did for me when I was young,
I took for granted all her earthly virtues,
And all her earthly love and blessings too,
Though never thinking that I would live to rue,
The Passing of one so kind and true,
So now dear Mother what I wish for you,
Is that in Heaven , you`ll find your well earned rest,
And God will give you all he has , the best.
